Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Either way, they need confirmation.

Not long after Tang Bo and Gu Ding entered Luma City, they found Shanhun.

Shan Lie didn't expect Tang Bo to come in person, and he was very happy to see him. They hadn't seen each other for a while.

But neither of them likes to chat. Mountain Hunter asked his younger sister about the current situation of the mountain deer. Tang Bo told him that the mountain deer is very good. Now he has built a large ranch by himself, breeding horses, green milk cows and other large livestock for the territory, and is still learning veterinary knowledge by himself. .

Shanhun asked her sister if she had someone she liked, if anyone pursued her, all kinds of worries.

Gu Ding laughed when he heard it.

When Tang Bo came to see Shanhun this time, he naturally made preparations in advance. He took out the letter that Shanlu asked him to bring to Shanhun, "This is from your sister. I don't know if she likes someone, but I will I know that many people are pursuing her, but she doesn't seem to have a crush on anyone yet."

"That wild girl is in her early twenties and still hasn't looked for it. When is she going to look for it?" Mountain Hunter's expression seemed satisfied but also worried. Although he was a little anxious, he was not really in a hurry. He took the letter , I opened it on the spot, read it quickly, put the letter away, and planned to go back and read it carefully.

"Lord, did you come here this time to meet the Grand Duke Lanji?" Shan Hunter turned to the business.

Tang Bo nodded.

Mountain Hunt got up, picked up the kettle and sprinkled water while walking, this is a habit he has just developed.

Soon, every corner of the house was sprayed.

The mountain hunter also poured a little water on the roof where people can stay.

"Just kidding, this is to prevent that god-favored person who can become invisible." Shan Lie put down the kettle, and then he talked to Tang Bo in peace.

Tang Bo didn't say that he has been using mental power to monitor his surroundings. If there are other spiritual powers around, he will be able to find them [-]% of the time.But it's a good thing that Mountain Hunter is willing to be more careful, so he didn't say much.

"I think you already know the matter from Lord Gu. I won't talk about the previous ones. I'll just talk about the latest news I got. First of all, Grand Duke Luma is indeed dead. I have seen his body and confirmed it. Secondly, according to the situation that I followed Luqin and several other grand dukes closely during this period of time, the death of the grand duke has nothing to do with Luqin, his other sons and his wife."

Shan Hunting, "Thirdly, Grand Duke Lanji contacted Luqin on his own initiative, and the method of agreement made Luqin terrified. Luqin found the invitation letter next to his pillow when he woke up. In other words, if Grand Duke Lanji has If you want to kill him, Luqin is already dead."

Tang Bo and Gu Ding looked at each other, this was also the strangest thing for them.If Lan Ji had the ability to kill the Grand Duke's family, why didn't he do it?

Shan Lie was not very clear about this, he only told the time and place of the meeting between Grand Duke Lanji and Lvqin.

The time will be at noon tomorrow, and the location will be in the center of the battlefields of both sides.

"Originally, I planned to pretend to be a guard next to Luqin and follow him to the battlefield. This meeting is very secret, and the other party will not allow Luqin to bring many people. If the three of us change our identities, it will be easy to reveal our secrets, especially when the other party has When the invisible lurker is around. If you want to go too, I have to make some more arrangements." Shan Hunter said.

Tang Bo thought for a moment: "You don't need to take us in, as long as there is a detailed time and place, Gu Ding and I can find a way to go there by ourselves. You just do as usual."

Mountain Hunter breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, I'll follow by myself. It's safer to be prepared."

Tang Bo was still thinking after Shanhun left.

Gu Ding sat down opposite him, "What are you thinking?"

Tang Bo raised his eyes: "I'm thinking if I were Grand Duke Lanji, why would I do this and what would I do."

Gu Ding: "Then have you figured it out?"

Tang Bo raised a finger: "I've thought about many reasons, and only one is more reasonable. That is, although Grand Duke Lanji intends to start a war, he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism. Don't forget, there is a king above the Principality."

Gu Ding frowned: "You mean that Duke Lanji attacked Luma not because he really wanted to occupy Luma, but just to get some benefits? Then why did he kill Duke Luma? Wait, I understand! "

Gu Ding stood up vigorously: "Lanji may be very strong now, but he is not strong enough to confront the king head-on, especially after the Marquis of Thunder has recovered. It is very likely that he will recover after the Marquis of Thunder recovers." After hearing the news, he changed his strategy, and it is also possible that his initial idea was just to weaken the national power of the Luma Principality, and it is best to fight until Luma is afraid and takes the initiative to pay tribute."

"He asked someone to kill the Duke of Luma. Without a leader, the Principality is bound to be in chaos. Usually, Lan Ji should kill all the descendants of the Duke of Luma in one go, and then take down the Principality of Luma. But in that case, Will the king be willing? Will the grand dukes of other duchies be willing? So if the duke of Lanji is not strong enough and doesn’t want to be regarded as the rafter of the leader, he will stop fighting at this time and start asking for benefits from the dukedom of Luma.”

Gu Ding clapped his hands, his eyes were full of light: "This is the reason why Grand Duke Lanji assassinated the old man Luma, but left his son behind. After killing the most stubborn and powerful leader, Grand Duke Lanji wants to negotiate It's much easier to do good."

Tang Bo smiled in his eyes: "That's right. What's more, by doing so, he can make the king and the Lu family estranged. If the king wants to take this opportunity to take back all the land of Luma, he will not give up the Duke of Luma's dukedom again." Pass it to Lvqin and other Lv family members. Then Lvqin, who has not been able to wait for the king to announce that he will inherit the title of duke, must be extremely panicked and full of dissatisfaction with the king. At this time, if Grand Duke Lanji says that he can help him get the title of duke , and no longer attack him, as long as he agrees that the Tumo Cult enters the Luma Principality to preach, and even becomes the state religion of the Luma Principality, do you think Luqin will agree?"

Gu Ding looked at Tang Bo with weird eyes: "You mean that the purpose of Grand Duke Lanji is to make Tumojiao develop?"

Tang Bo raised the corners of his lips: "It's incredible? That's because you haven't seen the power of religion. If this Grand Duke Lanji really intends to do so, then he is really a very smart person."

The clever Grand Duke Lanji really had the intention of not actually occupying the Principality of Luma, but demanding that the Principality of Luma must agree to allow the Tumojiao to settle in.

His original plan was more cunning. He wanted to defeat the Luma Principality and use war to destroy the confidence of the people of the Luma Principality. When they were in the most difficult time, he would send the Demon Slayer Cult into the Luma Principality, so that The believers went to help those Luma people, giving them blessings and certain food.

Disasters are the easiest to make people believe in some inhuman existence, and disasters also make people especially need spiritual support.

Grand Duke Lanji not only planned to let Tu Mojiao enter the Luma Principality to preach and gain the people's faith during the war.At the same time, he also planned to ask Tu Mojiao to go to Duke Luma, saying that he could help Luma and Lanji make peace as a third party.

When the time comes, Grand Duke Lanji will pretend to look at the face of Tu Mojiao and suspend the war.

And the Duke of Luma, who has received the great kindness of the Devil Slayer Sect, will naturally not reject the Devil Slaughter Sect so much, and it is even possible to make the Devil Slaughter Sect a state religion.

In this way, the Lanji Principality does not need to become a thorn in the eyes of the king and other grand dukes, and the Tumojiao can also absorb the blood of a principality to develop and grow.When Tumojiao is strong, so is Lanji.When they have almost saved up, they can continue to encroach on other principalities, and even the entire Tonglei Kingdom.

The plan was really well thought out, but such a perfect plan had to be abandoned after Tang Bo cured the bodies of Marquis Thunder and the king.

The Duke of Lanji was so angry that he gnawed at Tang Bo's heart.

Those two were already very capable of tossing around, especially the Marquis of Thunder.Now that the two are in good health, many things that were relaxed by them have been arrested again.And Lanji and Luma were fighting at this time, if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to do something, the Tonglei country would have perished long ago.

Grand Duke Lanji also saw that the Marquis of Thunder was dying of illness and the king was not in good health, so he dared to start a war with Luma at this time, who would have thought!

The most frightening thing is that Grand Duke Lanji found that many people hoped that Lanji and Luma could prolong the war.

Originally, Lan Ji didn't want to end the war so quickly, and he also meant to delay, wanting to drag Lv Ma to the point where he had to ask Tumojiao for help.

But now he didn't dare to delay any longer.

What made him even more angry and depressed was that before he had time to disrupt the interior of the Luma Principality and send the Tumo Cultists to gather people's hearts, the Luma Principality itself suddenly became chaotic.

Chaos is also a good thing for him, but before he sent anyone, an organization called the Mercenary Guild sprang up in Luma Dukedom, and it developed extremely fast. They absorbed a large number of young and strong.Other refugees who were in distress flowed to White Hart Collar through various methods.

The people are gone, so why did he send the Demon Slayer Cultists there for a fart?

He wanted to let the demon-slayer cultivators join the White Hart Collar, but the White Hart Collar has strict internal management and attaches great importance to preaching. If you find out, you will be arrested, regardless of whether you have good intentions or not.

If it is good intentions, a few words of general education will be released, but they will be warned that they must never preach within the scope of the White Hart Collar. Violators will be caught and punished as coolies after cutting their tongues.

If someone finds out that someone is cheating money, cheating sex and harming human life under the pretext of gods, there is only one end: death penalty!

In other words, he worked so hard to launch a war and made a series of plans, but in the end, the White Hart Collar and the Mercenary Guild were actually cheaper?

Grand Duke Lanji was almost pissed off when he found out about the situation, not to mention that the bodies of the Marquis of Thunder and the king were healed by that damned Tang Bo!

Moreover, Grand Duke Lanji also received a contact from Red Millet Principality. The other party actually wanted to match Lanji and Bailuling and let them divide the Luma Principality together.

I will go to your uncle!Why?

When Grand Duke Lanji received the letter, he kicked his chair over on the spot.

He has been planning for so long, is he going to forcibly divide the fat he harvested and give it to Bailuling?

How can it be!

If he agrees to this matter, not only will Lanji become a thorn in the eyes of the king and other grand dukes, he will also raise a tiger at the door of his house.

He'd be stupid to agree.

But the situation is already like this, if he continues to fight with Luma, if Lanji behaves stronger, that shameless king will definitely support Luma secretly, so that Luma can drag Lanji down.

However, Lanji's current national strength has not yet reached the level where it can confront the entire Tonglei country.

They have this potential. After all, they have mastered part of the magic knowledge of the demons. If these magics are used well, what are the favored ones?

But learning magic also requires talent, and there are only less than two palms of saints who can use magic and are loyal to the church and him.

Both Tumojiao and Lanji need time to develop, and development requires a large number of people and resources.

Grand Duke Lanji calmed down, it was impossible to continue the fight, so what can be done to recover the previous losses and maximize the benefits of Tumojiao and Lanji?

After much deliberation, Grand Duke Lanji came up with a new strategy.

That is to kill the stubborn Lord Luma, intimidate the heirs of Lord Luma, let them see Lanji's strength, and make them fear Lanji's strength.Then negotiate with the heir of Luma.

Luma is no longer as good as Lanji on the battlefield, and now Duke Luma has died violently. As long as Luqin is not stupid, he will not continue to fight with Lanji with his head covered.

In fact, Lvqin has already sent people to the capital, firstly to report to the king and cry about his father's death, secondly to ask him to succeed him, and thirdly to find someone to help Lvma and Lanji make peace. End the war as soon as possible.

Grand Duke Lanji thinks that His Majesty the King will most likely not agree to let Lvqin inherit the dukedom, and may delay it.Then secretly sent the Marquis of Thunder to "help" Luma, in fact, he replaced the officials of Luma little by little in the process of helping, and took over the entire Luma fiefdom.

And this is obviously not a good thing for the Lu family or Lan Ji.

At this time, Lanji talked to Lvqin just to show off his "good intentions".

It doesn't matter if Tu Mojiao failed to infiltrate the Luma Principality, he can go directly from the upper level.As long as Lvqin agrees to allow the Demon Slayer Sect to enter the Luma Principality and become the state religion, forcing all the people to believe in the Demon Slaughter Sect, then the Slaughter Demon Sect can also develop.

Lanji can pull back at this time, pretending that he doesn't intend to trouble Lvma again.

"...These conditions are very simple, and there is absolutely no loss for you." The person who claimed to be a saint of Tumo Sect spoke to Luqin with a gentle face.

Of course, it is impossible for Grand Duke Lanji to come to this kind of meeting in person.

The one who came was the cousin of Grand Duke Lanji, an earl.As well as a dozen or so disciples of the Tumo Sect.

A saint named Yongyan of the Tu Mo sect said with compassion on his face that he couldn't bear to see the people of the two countries suffer from the war, so he came here to be a lobbyist.

He said that Tu Mojiao is willing to persuade Grand Duke Lanji not to fight against Luma, and support Luqin to get the position of Grand Duke.The condition is that the Luma Principality will accept the Tumojiao as the state religion in the future, and allow the Tumojiao to establish churches anywhere in the Luma Principality and have the qualifications to deal with lawbreakers who violate the church rules. At the same time, the church does not need to pay taxes to the Principality. Property is protected by the Principality.

Luqin held the cup with his fingers, but didn't speak.

Saint Yongyan also showed infinite patience: "It's okay, you think about it slowly. It's okay if you don't agree, we Tumojiao really want to find a place to develop well, but without you Luma Principality, we can't You can go to other principalities, or other countries. This time, our holy master is troubled and can't see the suffering of the people of the two countries, so he let me go. He also went to find the Duke of Lanji and paid a big price Advise him to agree to stop the fighting."

Green Qin remained silent.

The saint Yongyan smiled: "I don't deny that we are willing to choose the Luma Principality to preach because the people here have suffered too many disasters. At this time, they need spiritual dependence, and our God can give them peace and happiness. But It's okay if you really disagree, we have a lot of time to wait after all. And..."

Yongyan made another extremely ingenious pause: "His Majesty the King will probably split up the Lvma Principality, isn't there too many sealed dukes, isn't it? His Majesty was in poor health before, and he could only turn a blind eye to many things. Close your eyes, but now that he and the Marquis of Thunder have both recovered, there are many things that can be put on the agenda, such as taking back certain fiefdoms that have no owner."

He put the cup that Luqin was playing with on the table, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "Don't speak so nicely, His Majesty the King doesn't want to make another Grand Duke, but you all just want a puppet."

Yongyan's smile is very reassuring. He said: "There is a saying that it is better to live than to die. Only by living can people have all kinds of possibilities. To be a puppet who has not completely lost freedom, or to be a nobleman with the title of Grand Duke and a wealthy life, How could it be better than a person who will die silently? Besides, you can believe in my god and become a member of my demon-killing sect. As long as you can win the trust of the church in the future, you will not only have the opportunity to regain power, maybe in the future There is also the possibility of becoming a leader."

Stealing audience: We were all moved by what we said.

Yong Yan continued: "Whether it's Grand Duke Lanji or His Majesty the King, if they want to deal with Luma, they probably won't let any of the Lu family members go. Are you really willing to die generously with all your relatives like this?"

The last one: "And don't you want to take revenge? Grand Duke Lanji and His Majesty the King may not be able to deal with you for the time being, but what about that Tang Bo of the White Deer Leader? Tang Bo took away one-fifth of the Duke of Luma Territory, he also refused to support your father and your family, and he will not support and support you."

"If Tang Bo is willing to help the Duke of Luma, with his financial resources and his friendship with the king and the Marquis of Thunder, the Duke of Lanji may not be the opponent of Luma at all. In addition, when the Duke was assassinated, Tang Bo was by the Duke's side If so, with his sacrificial healing technique, perhaps the Grand Duke will not die."

The eavesdropping Shan Lie, Gu Ding and Tang Bo himself: ...Who is this!
